gerry

It's been a pretty hectic couple of weeks. As I mentioned before, we had to move Gerry, Zoe's mom, from the Alzheimer's care facility she was living in to the hospital in Sedro-Wooley that worked on adjusting her meds. We spent the time looking at other facilities to see if we could get a better fit. That, and driving the hour and a half to Sedro-Woolley to visit Gerry. We picked her up yesterday and took her back to HomePlace where she had been living. All went well until we left. She has always been fearful but it has reached new levels. It's heart rending to see it. We are staying away until she can get settled back in and start trusting the nurses and caregivers again. It's very hard to see someone you care about so afraid. She still recognizes us but her cognitive powers are fading. She mostly talks nonsense. It's so hard to tell what the right thing is to do.
